12 Techniques for Digital Portrait Photography Inspiration

1. Photoshop:

If you are good at processing and image manipulation
(post-production), then use it as an advantage. Be extravagant with custom, try
one of the new Photoshop tricks or even try to create one photo collage fancy

2. OVER Exposé:

Residual light photography, also called high-key image makes
beautiful portraits with soft gentle light sense. One advantage of pictures
over expose is that small details and defects of the samples were blown away,
making for a much smoother image,

3. UNDER Exposé:

Often when looking at the first photo array that makes up
the majority, also known as low-key image, the natural eye will be attracted by
the bright part of the picture photo. This trend gives us one picture looks
rough and rugged than high-key image.

4. Back light:

Hair will light up when it was taken opposite with the light
source, so if the majority of the hair can then make it stand out by placing
the subject between you and one light source. You can manipulate this technique
to create the solid silhouette images (backlit images with the subject's
shadow):

5. Posing:

Try creating photo pose with a crazy position; it is even
more unique if it is a difficult and uncomfortable position for the model.

6. Reflections:

Use different surfaces to create a special aspect of the
image. Mirror windows, water ... the surfaces reflect light very well, and
every kind of material has a different result.

7. Shadows:

Another way to capture impressive portrait is to make the
shadows become one important part of the image. Sometimes the shadow can be
made to stand out more than the subject that creates the shadow

8. Get close:

There is no photography rule against cropped most of the
model’s face. This makes people are more attracted by what was left in the
photo.

9. (Un) focus:

Sometimes, out focus on the subject is more interesting than
the in focus (sounds a little ridiculous anyway: D: 7). This is like adding
some element of mystery to the photo because sometimes you cannot know exactly
who in the picture is.

10. Movement:

Use movement to express the dynamic nature of the image,
maybe even the whole subject completely blurry. In this case, ignore the
subject and think about creating one new entity through the old movement of the
subject.

11. Capture the moment:

Capture the moment when someone is doing something that they
love, even if it is not performed. Street Photography is one of my favorites
because it takes life as it is happening

12. Color:

Using vibrant colors and contrast to attract attention to
the parts of the image that you want to emphasize. The subject in this case can
be makeup, clothing, accessories, or anything else you have in your ability.
